A jokduri (Korean: 족두리) is a type of traditional Korean coronet worn by women for special occasions such as weddings.[1][2] Also known as a jokdu or jokgwan, it consists of an outer crown covered with black silk, and an inner which is filled with cotton and hard paper. Its top is decorated with cloisonné ornaments. The upper part is vaguely hexagonal and the bottom is cylindrical. The form of the jokduri gets narrower towards its base.[3][4][5]

Jokduri can be used to display the wearer's social status by being adorned with accessories made from gold or silver.[4]
